Maneuvers:

The next Lunar Calibration roll maneuver is scheduled for day 2001/250 (September 7, 2001) with data collection from 20:03:47 to 20:10:17. The roll angle will be -7.5106 degrees.

MODIS Anomalies:

The rate of formatter “error events” has increased during the past week to approximately 60-120 per day. There still have not been any noticeable impacts to operations.

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is in Science Mode on the A-side with the SVD and NAD open, operating with the Formatter Resolution Flight Software Patches (FRFSP).

Note: SD/SDSM calibrations were planned to be reduced to once per two weeks. This plan has been revised; SD/SDSM calibrations will continue to be scheduled once each week until the end of November.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

Trending has resumed with the instrument on the A-side. With the currently decreasing beta angle, the amount of focal plane heater margin is increasing. The intermediate stage cooler temperature is stable.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

None.
